Diaries are not discoverable from osm.org.

Well, except through RSS (: I don’t remember how long ago I decided to add OSM diaries to my reader, but it seems that the only thing that annoys me is spam and diaries of users who haven’t made any edits.

I have no negativity towards newcomer-mappers, but I rarely see any questions about mapping. Most often some random text. It would be better to show them a link to the forum (challenge: try to find a link to the forum on osm.org)

Perhaps I wouldn’t mind sorting by the most commented diaries, but this is a slippery slope of social media algorithms

А потрогать уже как-то можно? :)

First, have you studied the license of these maps?

Secondly, these maps are outdated. There is an up-to-date official source for geographical names. Only, please, without automatic import.

My edits are not git commits.

What is the difference?

Yes, you’re right, that changed three weeks ago: https://github.com/openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website/commit/2b7a48029bff06c190544f91c5969b09aeae552b However, some localizations still have the same label.
